What you will be able to do.

Emergency response coordinators, HSE and process safety engineers, incident commanders and shift supervisors; contributors to the site emergency plan and Seveso internal emergency plan

An emergency plan that has never been exercised against a realistic scenario is a document, not a capability. The course connects the plan to the PHA and consequence analysis, so that toxic, fire, explosion and spill scenarios drive muster, shelter-in-place and evacuation decisions; covers the organisation, communication and mutual aid required by 1910.119(n), 1910.38 and Seveso; and then teaches how to design drills with objectives, injects and evaluators. Participants run a tabletop drill on a case plant and debrief it.

  • Derive planning scenarios from PHA and consequence contours, including escalation
  • Structure the plan: organisation, roles, command post, communications, external agencies
  • Set muster, shelter-in-place and evacuation decision rules from dispersion and fire results
  • Meet the requirements of 1910.119(n), 1910.38, 1910.120 and the Seveso internal emergency plan
  • Design a drill: objectives, scenario script, injects, evaluators and safety controls
  • Debrief and convert drill findings into plan, training and equipment actions
